Ultimate Performance

Challenge: Getting material out cleanly.
Solution: Dragflow dredges pump a mixture of solids at high density without creating large plumes, which improves compliance with environmental regulations.

Challenge: Risk to personnel.
Solution: Autonomous dredges are operated remotely using precision GPS, putting less people in harm’s way.

Challenge: Machinery breakdown.
Solution: Autonomous dredges involve far fewer moving parts than barge/digger/dump truck systems. There’s less chance of breakdown, and local parts and support mean any downtime is minimal.

Problem: Time consuming, costly extraction.
Solution: Autonomous dredges speed up the below-water extraction process and cost less per tonne of extracted material.
